Reef Octopus Calcium Reactor RO-CR-350 Custom for Aquariums

The Reef Octopus 350PRO Commercial Calcium Reactor is a heavy-duty unit designed for large-scale aquaculture and public aquariums, featuring a high-performance reverse flow and CO2 recirculating design. It is a is a large-capacity system offering efficient, automated, and cost-effective maintenance of critical water parameters for large aquariums. 

Key Features

• Reverse Flow and CO2 Recirculating Design: Ensures efficient dissolution of the calcium carbonate media.
• Durable Construction: Hand-made from solid cast acrylic for long-lasting use.
• Integrated Monitoring: Equipped with a pH probe holder to monitor pH levels in the main reactor chamber and a built-in bubble counter for monitoring the CO2 drip rate.
• High-Performance Pump: Features a dependable and efficient Water Blaster pump with ultra-tough silicone carbide shafts and bearings to prevent seizing.
• Easy Maintenance: Designed with an easy-to-remove lid and 1/4" quick-connect fittings for hassle-free maintenance.
• Commercial Grade: Developed specifically for the needs of commercial sectors such as public aquariums and fish farms. 

Features

• Reverse Flow and CO2 Recirculating Design: This high-performance design maximizes the contact time between the water, CO2, and the calcium carbonate media, ensuring highly efficient dissolution.
• High-Quality Construction: The reactor is handmade from robust, solid cast acrylic, which provides long-lasting durability.
• Integrated Monitoring: It includes a built-in bubble counter to visually monitor the CO2 drip rate and a pH probe holder to monitor the pH level inside the main chamber, which is crucial for optimal operation.
• Dependable Recirculation Pump: Powered by a high-volume Water Blaster 12500 pump, it features ultra-tough silicone carbide shafts and bearings designed to prevent parts from seizing up.
• Easy Maintenance: The design includes a removable lid for simple media refills and 1/4" quick-connect fittings for hassle-free setup and cleaning.
• Independent Flow Control: Features independent flow valves, allowing the user to precisely control the flow rate of the media within the reactor. 

Benefits

• Automated and Consistent Supplementation: Once set up and tuned, the reactor automatically maintains stable calcium, alkalinity, and trace element levels (when using a media that contains them), eliminating the need for daily manual dosing.
• Stable Water Chemistry: By providing a continuous, steady supply of essential elements, it helps prevent the pH and parameter fluctuations that can stress or damage corals and other marine life.
• Cost-Effective Long-Term Operation: While the initial equipment cost is an investment, the long-term running costs are low, as media and CO2 refills are infrequent and inexpensive compared to two-part liquid dosing solutions for large systems.
• Ideal for High-Demand Systems: The large capacity and robust design make it perfect for commercial aquaculture, public aquariums, or very large hobbyist tanks (up to 4,000 US gallons) with high coral loads.
• Comprehensive Element Supply: Using natural coral skeleton media ensures nearly all the minerals and trace elements that corals use for growth are returned to the tank in the correct proportions.
• Scalability: A calcium reactor is an effective solution for when two-part dosing becomes too expensive or impractical due to the high demands of a growing coral population.
